But I hit a 155# clean today. No jerk b/c I didn't know if I could get my pinky fingers under the bar and I wasn't about to drop it from 5'8" in the air.

I've had some knee issues which have barred me from squatting for the last... month-ish. So today my knees felt fine and I managed this. I can probably clean more, but not being able to do squats for a month has made my front squats pretty weak.

Beats 145 originally set on 11/21/11, 16 months ago. Seems a long time to gain 2.5# but pressing took a back seat for a long time. Even 6 weeks ago I could barely get 3 at 130, so progress on OHP has been rapid lately.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with two things:

1) Stronger back2) Learning to use the stronger back as a base to press against

Extremely satisfying. When you break a PR you always feel like the sky is the limit after this.
